Following an India-Pakistan cricket match, the Indian team’s refusal to shake hands with their opponents has ignited a debate. This action is linked to the terror attack in Pahalgam, with the Indian captain dedicating the win to the victims. The discussion explores the dissolving line between sports and politics, questioning if cricket has become ‘war minus the shooting’. A key point raised states, "When a game becomes a platform for war minus the shooting… there is something horribly wrong." Viewpoints vary, with some supporting the players’ right to protest and others arguing that if the team felt strongly, they should have boycotted the game entirely rather than breaking on-field conventions. The incident has also led to Pakistan officially writing to the Asian Cricket Council, threatening a boycott if the match referee, Andy Pycroft, is not changed. #indvspak #cricket #indiapakistan #handshake #pahalgamattack #sportsandpolitics #suryakumaryadav #sunilgavaskar #terrorism #nationalism #cricketdebate #boycott #spiritofcricket #indiatoday #asiacup
